So admiral, essentially the only way the PLAN can defeat the Zumwalt is if we allow you to. It is so nice to see you as the PLAN's strategist and counselor for the next generation of Chinese sailors. With you at the intellectual helm, USN's victory over the PLAN is virtually assured.In his remarks, Adm. Zhang acknowledged the technological prowess of the Zumwalt destroyer but stated that he believes it represents a weakness, rather than strength, because the ship “places all eggs in one basket” of making various technologies vulnerable and unwieldy to design and operate.
“I can send several dozen small fishing boats loaded with explosives, floating and wobbly in the water, inching toward the Zumwalt, place the explosives onto its hulls [and] blow many holes in the hull. It will be finished then. The Zumwalt is no good!” the admiral remarked with his signature optimism.
Widely known as China’s “Adm. Gaffe,” Adm. Zhang is a chief weapons specialist and strategist for the Chinese navy, currently serving as a professor at the Chinese military’s Defense University.
The Zumwalt do not need to sink any PLAN ship, just a few extremely well placed 155mm shells will render the victim quite wobbly floating helpless in the water. Over sixty miles away and a miss by one yard is a bad shot. Has anyone here experience first hand a 155 mm shell explosion one yard/meter away? Looks like Admiral Gaffe been playing way too many video games to provide the PLAN the necessary leadership and wise counsel it needs for a navy struggling to find its place.In fact about the only design element of the ship that resembles a battleship are her forward guns. But these are not your grandfather’s guns. In tests they have proven incredibly accurate, ship workers boasted. “If we missed by 30 to 40 inches, that was a bad shot,” said one industry official overseeing the ship, who asked to remain anonymous.

Here is a sample of a 155 mm shell effect for the good admiral...

Sixty miles is also well over the horizon view and given the Zumwalt's low radar observability compounded by unique clutter characteristics of water, the Zumwalt will be able to, at night and on the move, lob 155 mm shells at crucial points in the PLA's shore based weapons and facilities with the same accuracy that the proud workers who built the ship struggled to hide. The PLAN will float wobbly and the PLA will walk wobbly. Shocked and awed redux and on the other side of the world.
I guess neither does the Washington Times, a newspaper. Admiral Zhang reportedly made the comment on state media China Central TV. Is that anything like MadTV or Second City TV?You can't tell what's a joke? IF he actually meant what he said of the fishing boat, why is the PLAN expanding at such a fast rate. At present no other country even comes close to the rate of new ships produced per year. Though to be fair the US does have a lot more to begin with.
You guys have got to stop telling the lie that your China is sooooooooo meritorious...Also, for you to constantly boast of your role in the army, this guy is an admiral, being in the military I'm sure you know not everyone can be an admiral. What is your rank btw? Close to that of an admiral?
Little Missy Mingze is not out of school yet, and she is already the talk of being the next Party Chairman and President of China. Mao's grandson is reportedly a 'general'. There is an hold saying in the military: Rank Hath Its Privileges (RHIP). What has either one accomplished to earn their ranks and privileges?Western media have reported that Xi Mingze, the daughter of Xi Jinping, who is widely expected to become the new president of China and chairman of its Communist Party, is studying at Harvard University under an assumed name. (The university hasn't confirmed to the International Business Times that she indeed studies there.)
Oooooohhh...Two stars just for being Mao's blood relative. I bet that rankled you, eh? But if not, we understand. If you were in their privileged shoes, you would be no different, and still continue the facade that the Chinese government leadership is based on merits.Now Mao Xinyu, 40, has confirmed that nepotism played its part in his appointment, admitting to a popular Chinese website that his family background was "definitely a factor" in the decision to add a second star to his epaulettes.
Wretched excess. Kinda like driving with the windows down and the air conditioning on. Besides, we need to keep our military-industrial complex running so our aspiring leaders can produce real accomplishments on their resumes.I'm just going to assume the later part of your post to be a joke as well. Cause other wise, why build three of these, just build one and shell away.

Not everyone can be an admiral -- yes -- in the US military. But in China, in the PLA and the Party's hierarchy, all it take is daddy's name. What is your daddy's name? Must not be very well known, otherwise you would not be a conscript reject and assigned Internet troll duty.

Somehow the ship doesn't look very sturdy to me. A big wave could seriously reach the radars. Plus, the radar signature has to be huge from the side, just look at that huge reflective structure.
Ignore this 12 yr old. All he know is how to mindlessly make baseless criticisms of anything US. The only thing he contribute to this forum is noise.I think you underestimate her size. The radars aren't set any lower than those on the significantly smaller Arleigh Burke destroyer. If anything, they are higher above the water. Plus, it is not called a stealth ship because of its HIGH RCS. Despite being 40% larger than an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the radar signature is more akin to a fishing boat... The RCS is insanely small for such a large vessel. The angular deckhouse increases stealth by minimizing radar reflectance. The surfaces of the Zumwalt’s deckhouse incorporate all radar apertures and communication antennas, eliminating high-profile masts and rotating antennas. Thus decreasing RCS. The first ship has a composite deckhouse, the second a steel one. The third may get eiher one. Click on that last pic in my previous post to expand it: see the RAM on the deckhouse? Note the absence of any openings (portholes) in the hull? Note the angling of the superstructure, to reflect any returns on radar waves away from the emittor? All features contributing to lower RCS.
